Early detection of cancer is critical in saving lives, as it allows the disease to be identified and treated at its most manageable stages. Let’s take the real life example of Mr. Premchand. He was diagnosed with buccal mucosa cancer, but this detection was done at an early stage, so with surgery alone his tumour was removed and no additional chemotherapy was required. Upon reassessment of his PET scan results, it was observed that he was now free of cancer. Early detection of cancer was one of the main factors that helped improve his rate of survival. Furthermore, it also saved him from expensive treatments that can prove to be a huge financial strain on people. Another factor that played a role in his treatment was Mr. Premchand’s determination and confidence, he never gave up hope regardless of what the situation was. And today, he is cancer free!
Early diagnosis not only improves treatment success rates but also reduces the need for more invasive procedures and harsh treatments.
Ashu Shah Cancer Foundation strongly promotes the importance of early screening and is immensely proud of their constant efforts to make early screening and detection programs more accessible to people all over India. By prioritizing regular check-ups, individuals can take proactive steps to detect cancer early and greatly enhance their chances of recovery.
